Sentenced: Tyler Sullivan Admitted Killing 4MO Son He Loved “With Every Fiber Of My Being”

[Sugar Cookie]

Tyler Sullivan, 30, has been charged in the "battered child" death of his infant son, telling police he had violently shaken the baby twice Wednesday. It wasn't the first time, either, police said.

His 4-month old son, identified in court records as TS, was pronounced dead Thursday just after midnight at Lower Bucks Hospital. Emergency medical personnel brought the baby to the hospital after police and first responders were called to a home on Radcliffe Street for a child in cardiac arrest.

The baby, police said, died before arriving at the hospital despite efforts to resuscitate him.

Police said the child was not breathing and cold to the touch when they arrived to the home.

The doctor who examined the baby found he was blue and had bruises on his forehead and had "battle-sign bruising," as well as a bruise on his neck, his right thigh and lower eye. He also had head injuries and a cut on the right side of the nose.

The doctor said in his experience the baby's condition was "indicative of a battered child."

Sullivan told police he had violently shaken TS twice, once the morning of May 24 and again that night after giving him a bath, according to court documents. Sullivan said the bruising happened when he bumped the baby's head on the rocking chair previously and bumped his head on the bathtub Wednesday night while bathing the child, according to the affidavit of probable cause.


Sullivan also said he had shaken his son six more times over the last six weeks, the documents allege.

The boy's mother was not charged, but told police that while her son was in the sole custody of Sullivan she noticed bruising on the child's body that was inconsistent with the defendant's explanations.

On her Facebook page, the woman says she is engaged to Sullivan and updated her photos with a picture of an infant in late February.

I don't remember ever bumping my babies heads on anything, but then again, I was not dragging them around or shaking them like rag dolls, because, you know, they are babies and are delicate.

Like the guy who hit his baby harder than he wanted to, which means he meant to hit him, just not kill him. he wanted him to live so he could continue to beat him.

30-year-old Tyler Sullivan pleaded guilty to third degree murder and endangering the welfare of a child.

Last May, police responded to a call for a 4-month-old who was in cardiac arrest.

Investigators say the child showed signs of abuse, and they believed Sullivan was to blame.

A tearful Bristol man admitted in court Tuesday that he killed his infant son, who he loved “with every fiber of my being.”

Tyler Sullivan, 31, apologized to the mother of his four-month-old son, Timothy, and told the court he never intended to hurt him, but he was not able to properly care for him.

“I’d spend an eternity in jail if it would bring my son back,” Sullivan said, his voice choking with emotion. “I know everyone hates me, but no one hates me more than I hate myself.”

Bucks County Common Pleas Gary Gilman said he believed Sullivan is remorseful, but believes he needs to stop feeling sorry for himself, and get the mental health treatment he needs.

Gilman sentenced Sullivan to 15 to 30 years in state prison on the third-degree murder charge that he pleaded guilty to earlier this year. He also sentenced him to 3 to 10 years on a charge of endangering the welfare of children, which will be served at the same time as his murder sentence.

Killing your infant is not loving him "with every fiber of your being". It's just murder...
